Lil Inker December Release Day 1

Hi! I'm here with Lil Inker Design's December release! I'm showing you two cards today, Christmas cards at that. So lets get to it. 

The first card, I used All About Ampersands Dies and All About Ampersands Stamp set from the new release. On the background, I stamped Cozy Winter Wishes in VersaMark Ink. I then die cut a snowflake using on of Lil Inker's dies and covered it with glitter. I then stamped the sentiments with pink ink and fussy cut around the edges. I cut the ampersand from green paper and I pieced it all together.


To finish off the card, I covered it with sequins and chomped the corners. 


For the second card, I die cut using Long and Skinny Rectangles and heat embossed a sentiment from Big Christmas Stamp set. I then took the same snowflake die set and covered the dies in glitter. I then pieced the card together and voila!!


I love how this card turned out. It's so timeless!


Here are the sets I used below!




So, here's the blog hop list for the release! Make sure to stop by each and leave a comment to make sure you get a chance to win a gift card to the shop.

  7. Two wonderfully festive cards; the traditional colours in the second and the aqua/fushia/green in the second are delightful choices to showcase the new release!

  9. Oh my!! Love that second glittery snowflake card! Whimsical and classic - seems like an oxymoron but it sure worked for you!
